Ooops, I've had my first slip-up in terms of weight maintenance... This morning I weighed in at 64.2kg--- 1.2kg higher than my 'goal weight band'. Of course I know where I went wrong. Over Easter I essentially gave up the training & decided to eat everything & anything that caught my eye (including a lot of chocolate & even a bit of pizza!). I know I'll be able to drop the extra weight quickly though, all I need to do is exercise a bit of self control & get back on track with my training. I've already done 3 training sessions this week & I have another planned for tomorrow. I've also cut my calories but of course since I'm doing weight training I haven't cut them down by too much... I'll re-check my weight next week though & if it hasn't dropped I may cut to 1500 calories which will put me on my BMR.
Though I may have gained a little weight I'm looking incredibly fit & strong. I've noticed a huge increase in my leg definition in particular. Most of my weights are still the same but the little bit of running I've been doing has paid off---- I definitely have more stamina. Gym sessions have been difficult to fit in this semester but I've managed to do it by leaving class early, going to the gym & then watching lectures online instead. I'm diversifying when it comes to the recipes I've been cooking--- my partner recently got me 'Tiffany's Lighten Up Cookbook' so I've started trying the recipes in it. It concerns me a little that they don't have calorie counts next to them but several are similar to 12wbt recipes so I assume they're around the same mark.
My study has been a little off track (we had a death in the family & I didn't cope very well last week) but I'm currently powering my way through all the lectures I've missed. I'm about half-way through so I should be able to finish by the end of study break & be up-to-date.
